Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

On the other hand, the fact that Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai managed to mutate a mid-level Demon Beast came as quite a pleasant surprise to Zhou Chun.

The mid-level Demon Beast, the Green Striped Water Turtle, was not particularly powerful, but its gentle nature and proficiency in defensive spells made it an excellent choice for a Spirit Pet.

Now that it had been transformed into a Dragon Turtle Demon Beast by Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai, it certainly possessed the Thunder Attribute, greatly enhancing its attack capabilities, significantly increasing its value as a Spirit Pet.

According to the rules, Zhou Chun had the privilege of naming this new breed of Dragon Blood Demon Beast.

He promptly and without hesitation decided on the name 'Silver Electric Dragon Turtle.'

Later, when Zhou Chun escorted Su Yuzhen back to the Su Family, he took the opportunity to praise and reward Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai for its great achievement.

In fact, it wasn't just Flood Dragons that could infect Demon Beasts with breath, causing them to mutate into Dragon Blood Demon Beasts. The Fire Phoenix Clan could also create Phoenix Blood Monster Beasts by bestowing their Lifebound Essence Blood.

However, Lifebound Essence Blood was very important to the Fire Phoenix itself and was not easily granted.

Moreover, many other factors were involved, such as if the Demon Beast that consumed Phoenix Blood had too high a Cultivation Level, the Phoenix Blood would likely be directly refined to enhance its Cultivation Level, making transformation difficult.

Conversely, if the Demon Beast that consumed the Phoenix Blood had too low a Cultivation Level, it might not withstand the Phoenix Blood's power and be incinerated to ashes.

Overall, in practice, it was more cumbersome than Flood Dragons mutating Demon Beasts into Dragon Blood Demon Beasts through breath.

The most crucial reason was that Zhou Chun feared that if Phoenix Blood Monster Beasts were cultivated, others might discover his connection to the Flame Prison Phoenix, leading to endless trouble.

For all these reasons, he had no current plan to cultivate such Phoenix Blood Monster Beasts.

In the subsequent two years, Zhou Chun attempted to break through his realm barrier every few days to loosen it.

After two years, he clearly felt the realm barrier had significantly loosened, and each subsequent attempt had better effects.

If this continued, it seemed he could break through to the Golden Core Middle Stage in a few years.

But just as Zhou Chun was about to muster his energy to break through the realm barrier, news suddenly came from the Wasteland Territory that the High Priest Wukulu of the Scale Frog Clan requested to see him, claiming it was of great importance.

Upon receiving this news, Zhou Chun's heart skipped a beat, sensing something was amiss.

He couldn't help but recall a vital task he had once entrusted to Wukulu and worried that something had gone wrong.

He then hurried to meet Wukulu in the Dragon Abyss Marsh.

Upon meeting Wukulu, his appearance was even more alarming, deepening Zhou Chun's concern.

Wukulu looked as if he were at death's door, with a visible aura of death about him.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but ask, "Wukulu, what happened to you? Why have you ended up like this?"

Hearing this, Wukulu managed a bitter smile and replied, "Senior Zhou, you have noticed, haven't you? My time is almost up; I doubt I can last through one more year!"

He then began to explain the cause of his current condition.

The reason was not what Zhou Chun feared. Instead, it was because Wukulu had made an error while forcefully attempting to break through to the Third Order High Magician Realm, leading to what Cultivators referred to as a state of inner turmoil.

Although he ultimately broke free from the state of inner turmoil with the aid of a valuable artifact, it had drastically reduced his lifespan, leaving him with little time left.

Hearing this explanation, Zhou Chun felt relieved, then thoughtfully observed him and said, "So, you've called me here to settle matters and appoint a new High Priest, haven't you?"

"Yes, that is exactly what Wukulu intended."

The High Priest Wukulu nodded in confirmation.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun nodded as well and said, "Alright then, as long as the person you choose is willing to continue the policy of friendship between our two clans, nothing will change, and we can proceed as before."

After saying this, he added, "However, make sure that the task I assigned you to handle in Dragon Abyss is clearly explained to your successor, and that they'll continue to carry out this duty!"

Upon hearing this, Wukulu promptly and solemnly replied, "Wukulu understands. I will personally take him there before my time is up!"

But then, looking at Zhou Chun with some hesitation, Wukulu spoke again, "Additionally, Wukulu has one more request and hopes Senior Zhou will agree to assist!"

"Oh, let's hear it," Zhou Chun responded, his expression shifting slightly as he took a closer look at him, nodding noncommittally.

Seeing this, Wukulu cautiously lowered his voice and said, "The situation is this: My clan has found through experimentation that the Black Lotus Pill that the Zhou Family traded to us is most effective in enhancing our Magicians' cultivation levels. Therefore, Wukulu wishes to ask Senior Zhou to agree to increase the number of Black Lotus Pills in future trades, preferably to over half of the total amount!"

"The Black Lotus Pill?"

Zhou Chun thought back carefully and quickly recalled information about this Black Lotus Pill.

The real name of this pill was Water Lotus Pill, originally crafted using a water attribute spiritual lotus as the main ingredient, suitable for Cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Stage using water attribute Cultivation Techniques.

After Zhou Chun planted a batch of lotus seeds obtained from a Secret Realm Island in the Zhou Family's grounds, a special black lotus sprouted, and the Water Lotus Pills made from its seeds were blue-black in color, hence the Zhou Family also referred to them as Black Lotus Pills.

However, although the Zhou Family had previously used the Water Lotus Pills to trade with the Scale Frog Alien Clan, they hadn't mentioned this particular effect, suggesting that there was something special about the black lotus that particularly aided these alien races in their cultivation.

Thinking this, Zhou Chun subtly nodded and said, "Zhou Mou understands, and I will instruct the family to produce more Black Lotus Pills. However, this pill is difficult to make, and the supply of materials is limited, so don't set your expectations too high!"
